203 An Enchanted Encounter! (1/2)

Yun Yang looked at the King Qirin Fish in confusion, not knowing the intention of the king bringing him here. He did not dare to move rashly, only waiting for the fish king to give him the next clue.

The hint appeared in the form of the fish king flapping its tail against the water happily, splashing water all over. It then swam over and leaned against Yun Yang’s legs – unmoving, like it was resting.

Resting?

Yun Yang felt incredulous.

You’ve brought me here all the way… for what? To rest?

It was when Yun Yang was absolutely at a loss that he felt an indescribably overbearing force arriving. The feeling was akin to the sky suddenly falling.

At the same time, he felt his heart palpitate. The deeper ground underneath his feet was also quaking and ripples broke the peaceful surface of the water.

The fish king stuck closer to Yun Yang as if comforting him, ”Don’t be scared, it’s okay.”

Yun Yang grew increasingly exasperated but not too long later, a bright light shone from the wall above. It was a pure purple ray that grew bigger, like a bubble that was expanding, until it grew to the size of a human head and hovered above the dent.

A bubbling noise emanated from below the ground. Right then, a colorless gas shot up from the dent right into the purple ball of light that hovered above. With a clear ringing sound, the fog shot outwards like arrows flying in every direction.

When the arrows of gas refracted, it did not grow weaker but struck against the cave wall, making echoes upon collision. When the gas bounced back again, it formed another new ball of gas above the dent on the stone platform.

What was different was that this ball was no longer colorless; it had turned a luminous rainbow sheen.

It rotated as it flowed faintly, the movement slow but ceaseless.

When the King Qirin Fish saw it, it let out a sharp cry like it was cheering. Then it nudged Yun Yang’s waist with its head, asking him to go forward.

”You want me to take this?” Yun Yang asked in shock, pointing at the rainbow ball of gas that was beginning to dissipate.

The fish king got anxious, charging over and raising its head to take in a large mouthful of gas. A big flow of gas then rushed into its opened mouth.

It turned to look at Yun Yang, its tail flapping in the water anxiously as if saying, ”Quick, do as I did.”

Yun Yang shrugged, not daring to simply do so since he did not know what it was after all. However, looking at the King Qirin Fish that looked very at ease now, he figured that the gas would not be dangerous; he stuck his head over to inhale some of the gas despite still being somewhat doubtful.

Just as the doubtful whiff of rainbow gas entered his mouth, Yun Yang could feel the mystical Qi in his dantian give a violent tremble. He felt a sense of wonder then, a warm comfortable sensation enveloping his entire body.

Emmie, that had been swaying around in his deific consciousness suddenly turned quiet; its tendrils that never stopped waving about froze in the air too; its leaves curled up as well before they suddenly stretched out. Then, it began swaying like it never had before.

Emmie wore a look of absolute anxiousness.

The fish king had only taken three breaths, absorbing less than one-tenth of the ball of gas’ energy. It stopped, laying down in the water and closing its eyes, obviously digesting the power contained within the gas.

Three mouthfuls were all it could take.

Yun Yang could feel Emmie’s urgency now. After a slight hesitation, he directed Qi from his dantian and took a deep breath.

Yun Yang breathing in, based on mystical Qi, was a much stronger inhalation than his first. It was more than the fish king’s inhalation as well. The ball of rainbow gas turned into billows of mist at once, flowing slowly but surely into Yun Yang’s mouth.

Emmie grew even more ecstatic as it shook around, waving its tendrils.

As it made noises filled with glee, it absorbed the colorful gas into the subconscious space and placed them around itself.

The two emerald leaves curled up and stretched out several times as the tendrils danced. Before long, the gas that was the size of a head was entirely absorbed.

The faint fog that accumulated on the dent was nowhere to be seen.

The surroundings returned to its initial peaceful calm.

Yun Yang could tell that he felt different but he could not pinpoint what the difference.
